Description The Morning Brew: Santa Rosa Beach

A private courtyard pool, a covered porch looking out over pine woods, a six-passenger low-speed vehicle, and five bikes – this house in WaterColor's Crossings II neighbourhood comes well set up for a proper 30A escape. The main house and carriage house together give larger groups real room to breathe, with a fire pit in the courtyard for evenings under the stars. When the beach calls, the WaterColor Beach Club – with three pools, a sunset bar, and Gulf of Mexico views – is a twelve-minute walk away.

Home truths:
* Bath towels and linens stay at the home – you'll want to pack your own beach and pool towels for days at the water.
* Your twelve wristbands for WaterColor community amenities are capped by HOA guidelines, so you'll have exactly enough for a full group of twelve.
* During nesting season from 1st May to 31st October, sea turtle protection rules mean no white lights on the beach at night – if your home has Gulf views, keep blinds drawn after dark.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
* The swimming pool isn't fenced.
